Objectives: Many radiopharmaceuticals have been studied as radiation synovectomy agents. In this study, we developed a new potential agent for radiation synovectomy: poly(lactic acid)-histidine (PLA-his) microspheres radiolabelled with [188Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+.
Methods: The reaction conditions for the chelation of [188Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+ and the radiolabelling of PLA microspheres were optimized and the stabilities for both steps tested in vitro.
Results: The chelation efficiency of [188Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+ reached 93.12 +/- 1.82% with >95% radiochemical purity once the colloidal and free 188Re were removed by a small Sep-Pak column (Plus QMA). More than 90% of radioactivity stayed in the [188Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+ form over 5 h. The radiolabelling efficiency of PLA-his microspheres with [188Re(CO)3(H2O)3]+ was above 92%. After 3 days incubation at 37 degrees C in calf serum, more than 80% of the radioactivity was still bound to the microspheres.
Conclusion: Such microspheres are potentially useful as a radiation synovectomy agent for the treatment of chronically inflamed arthritic joints. Furthermore, they might be valuable in cancer brachytherapy.

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by symmetric polyarthritis. RA is routinely treated by various systemic drugs; on the other hand, administration of intra-articular corticosteroids or different types of synovectomies can be used in case of systemic medication's failure. Chemical, radio isotopic, and surgical synovectomies are being used as therapeutic options for chronic synovitis to improve joint function.

Article Synopsis
- Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-lasting disease that causes joint pain and problems moving, especially in bigger joints like shoulders.
- In severe cases, treatments like medications and surgery don’t always work, leading to very limited movement and pain.
- A new treatment called microwave ablation (MWA) has shown success, helping a patient relieve pain and improve movement without serious risks.

Diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis is characterized by synovial inflammation and hemosiderin deposition. It mainly occurs in adults, with the hip and knees being the most common sites of involvement. It is associated with high recurrence rates, with open synovectomy being the most common treatment method to avoid recurrence.
